Chapter: 5341

Chen Xiaozhao cried out, "Grandfather, Xiaozhao doesn't want to leave Jinling, so she wanted to ask Master Lei to persuade you..."

Shi Tianzhi let out a deep sigh, saying, "Ah! I Shi Tianzhi am willing to concede defeat. Since we've lost, why continue to stubbornly stay here?"

Chen Xiaozhao stubbornly cried out, "Even if we lose, it's only Jing Shen Hall that's at stake! We don't have to leave Jinling because of this!"

Shi Tianzhi countered her, asking, "My agreement with him is that if I lose, I'll give up Jing Shen Hall and let him take over. If Jing Shen Hall is gone, what would be the point of staying in Jinling?"

Chen Xiaozhao wailed, saying, "But I don't want to leave Jinling... I haven't learned the true three-yang needle method from Master Lei yet, and I don't want to go..."

When that day, Song Jia's old master fell ill, Shi Tianzhi brought Chen Xiaozhao to rescue him, but they coincidentally ran into Ye Chen on the road. At the time, Chen Xiaozhao was resistant to Ye Chen, but after seeing him use the true "Three-Yang Needle Method", she immediately showed reverence and prostrated herself before him.

This Three-Yang Needle Method, although it's a family tradition of the Shi clan, is not just some superficial knowledge passed down by the ancestors. The true Three-Yang Needle Method is far more formidable than what the Shi clan has been teaching.

Chen Xiaozhao also knew that many top-notch medical techniques have remained secrets for years, so she had never expected Ye Chen to teach her. She was just trying to find an excuse to stay in Jinling.

Ye Chen then asked curiously: "Shi Tianzhi, what did you lose that makes you willing to hand over Jing Shen Hall?"

Shi Tianzhi said with a shamefaced expression: "Master Ye... I'm afraid I've lost. I don't have the face to bring it up again..."

Chen Xiaozhao spoke out of turn: "It's because of an old man who came two days ago! He wanted to challenge Grandfather to compare medical skills, and said that if he won, he would let Grandfather remove the plaque from Jing Shen Hall and let him take over this area for running a medicine hall. If he lost, he would send his ancestor's one-legged cauldron to Grandfather... Grandfather didn't know what to think, so he agreed..."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Shi Tianzhi, it seems like the other party has set a trap for you, with your character and behavior, you shouldn't have fallen into such a situation!"

Shi Tianzhi's face turned red as he struggled in embarrassment. After some time, he finally sighed: "Master Ye, I must confess! The old man had bewitched my mind. Seeing that cauldron was indeed an attractive thing, thinking about how many herbs you would have to brew every day, and if I could win that cauldron for you, it would certainly lighten your burden in the future... but I didn't think I would actually fall into such a pitiful situation!"

Chen Xiaozhao didn't expect that Shi Tianzhi wanted to leave Jingling because he lost a bet to win a cauldron for himself.

He was even more surprised to find out that the old man had set up this bet to win a one-legged cauldron for himself.

He asked curiously, "Shi Tianzhi, who is the person you bet with?"

"I don't know." Shi Tianzhi replied. "That person was quite crazy, only saying he's surnamed Hong and known as Hong Tianshi."

"Hong Tianshi?" Chen Xiaozhao frowned upon hearing these three words.

He had previously heard of this name from Autumn Qi Yin when she sent off a blood-clarifying elixir to her grandfather. According to her, this person was an extremely experienced Daoist in the American Chinese circle, known as Hong Tianshi, and was very familiar with his grandmother's affairs. He even went out of his way to cure her grandfather who was critically ill at the time, resulting in some disagreement between him and Autumn Qi Yin.

After witnessing the efficacy of the blood-clarifying elixir, this person became determined to find the person who made it, and after hearing Uncle An Chongqiu mention that there had been a Rejuvenation Pill appearance in Jingling before, he immediately decided to come to Jingling to search for it.

Autumn Qi Yin reminded him at the time to be cautious of Hong Tianshi in the future, but since he was still in America, he didn't take this person seriously.

He bet with Shi Tianzi, not knowing whether it was just because he had a crush on Shi Tianzi's Zhen Shen Tang or if he had already found something about himself. He specially came to Shi Tianzi's place looking for an opening.

However, Ye Chen didn't feel any tension at all, as far as he was concerned, someone who could be so shocked by the blood-clarifying elixir that they would fall flat on their face was probably not a big shot. If it turned out to be someone malicious, he would just grab them and let Hong Wu take them away to raise dogs.

Ye Chen's confidence wasn't blind, but rather because some small details about the other person had already revealed his true nature.

If someone saw an Audi and was shocked beyond recognition, then this person's worth was probably not enough to buy an Audi. JrNovels.com
